Extending off St. John’s south shore just west of Fish Bay, this serpentine peninsula offers the feeling of being at the ends of the earth. One of the most narrow peninsulas on the island, Ditleff Point offers dramatic, sweeping ocean views; on a clear day, you can glimpse St. Croix to the south, but the horizon is otherwise unobstructed, a rare sight on St. John which is surrounded by small cays and islands and on many sides. Ditleff Point also offers the rare opportunity to watch the sun rise behind the wild and beautiful Ram Head, then set behind the twinkling lights of St. Thomas. During the winter, you may be lucky enough to witness whales breaching off the south shore as they migrate through the territory’s waters.

Beautifully hand-crafted local stone walls line the roadways, with tropical sea grapes and bougainvillea planted tastefully throughout. Masonry steps lead you down a gorgeous walkway to a white sand beach for homeowners to enjoy.

Ditleff Point is a relatively new development on the island with several lots for sale, giving you the opportunity to design and build your dream home from the ground up. Though the peninsula’s natural beauty offers a feeling of escapism, Ditleff is less than 10 minutes from shopping, bars, and restaurants in Cruz Bay. This neighborhood’s unique combination of dramatic views, natural beauty, and proximity to amenities makes it a true gem of the island.
